The Volunteer Network

200,000 Volunteer Opportunities

One Searchable Database

Easy Integration with Your Website

More people than ever want to volunteer. Nine in ten nonprofits are ready for more volunteers. You can help match good people to good causes by integrating the Volunteer Network into your website.


What It Is
The Volunteer Network is the source for more than 200,000 national, international,
full-time, one-time, ongoing and virtual (volunteering from home) volunteer
opportunities.



How It Works
• Your state signs up.
• You tell us what kinds of volunteer opportunities you want your citizens to
be able to search for on your website.
• We give you a customized search box for your website that allows citizens
to search opportunities.
• We display and host the search results with the look and feel you want.
• We provide citizens links to sign up for opportunities.
• We give you tracking reports so you know who is using the service.



Who Runs It
The Volunteer Network was created in July 2002 through a collaboration between
USA Freedom Corps (www.volunteer.gov), the nonprofit Network for Good and
sixteen major volunteer opportunity partners from across the country.
The Volunteer Network features opportunities from: 1-800-VOLUNTEER.org,
AmeriCorps, boardnetUSA, Citizen Corps, the Corporation for National and
Community Service (MLK day), Hands On Network and Points of Light, Idealist,
National Mentoring Partnership, Peace Corps, SeniorCorps, SERVEnet, United Way,
VolunteerMatch, Volunteer.Gov/Gov and Volunteer2.
